FILE - This Saturday, July 5, 2014 file image made from video posted on a militant website which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, purports to show the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq. In an audio speech released in July, the group’s leader, al-Baghdadi, listed instances of alleged oppression of Muslims around the world, describing the “Islamic State” as one that “will return your dignity, might, rights and leadership.” With its transnational agenda, the group has become a magnet for disenfranchised young Muslims from all over the world.
